With the joint efforts of Xu Wantang, Luo Xiaojuan and Chen Yue, they were able to eat soon.
In addition to the braised sea cucumber with green onion and the scrambled eggs with persimmon and persimmon brought by Xu Wantang, Luo Xiaojuan also fried musu pork and mixed with cucumber.
It's hot now, so Xu Wantang packed it in an insulated lunch box at home. The roasted sea cucumber with green onions didn't get too cold, so it's just right to eat now.
The dishes were put on the table together, and the two children's eyes widened.
Although the living standards of these two families are already very good, except for festivals and banquets, how can the family eat four dishes at a meal?
Huzi swallowed his saliva, ran to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and obediently helped his mother serve rice in the kitchen. After serving the rice, he brought out bowls one after another and placed them on the table with a look of eagerness. appearance.
"Huzi is so capable!"
Xu Wantang praised Huzi when he saw how busy he was.
Hearing the compliment, Huzi pursed his lips and smiled happily. He scratched his head sheepishly and glanced at the dishes from time to time.
The same goes for Guoguo, who licked her lips gently and looked so cute, "Mom, we eat together with Sister Tang and Aunt Xiaojuan every day, okay?"
Luo Xiaojuan took off her apron and said first, "Of course! From now on, we will go to my aunt's house to eat. My aunt will prepare delicious food for you every day."
Guo Guogui blinked his eyes cleverly, "Then don't my mother and Sister Tang have to make delicious food?"
Chen Yue nodded her daughter's head, "You are the only one who is smart! You still need three of us to serve you?"
Guoguo smiled with a row of white teeth, threw herself into Xu Wantang's arms sheepishly, and changed the subject in a stiff but cute way, "Sister Tang, I'll sit with you."
The corners of Xu Wantang's mouth turned up and she couldn't hold it down no matter how hard she pressed it. She took the opportunity to touch Guoguo's smooth and tender face, bent down and carried Guoguo onto the chair, "Okay, you and Sister Tang sit here. "
Guo Guo nodded her head and rubbed her little body towards Xu Wantang.
"Eat quickly, the children must be starving." Luo Xiaojuan said with a smile.
"Then we won't be polite." Xu Wantang picked up the chopsticks and put a sea cucumber into Huzi and Guoguo's bowls.
The sea cucumber was soaked with the aroma of green onions and was very delicious. The two children devoured it.
"It's delicious! I want to eat one more!" Guoguo only took one bite of sea cucumber and started to make a reservation for the next one.
"You finish the food in the bowl first." Chen Yue said in a dumbfounded voice.
Chen Yue was talking about her children one second, then took a bite of roasted sea cucumbers with green onions, and sighed, "Sister Wan Tang, your craftsmanship is amazing. I'm not exaggerating. I've been on the island for several years, and I've never tasted anything so delicious. of sea cucumbers.”
"It smells so good! Girl, how did you make it? If you have any secrets, please teach me." Luo Xiaojuan admired and wanted to learn from it.
Xu Wantang didn't hide it, "Onion oil is more fragrant when boiled in lard. In this dish, you also need to pay attention to whether the sea cucumber is flavorful. Before frying, it must be simmered for a while to make it more flavorful. I will teach you the details next time. Have a meal."
Xu Wantang took a spoon and poured a spoonful of soup into the rice. "The bibimbap is also delicious. You guys try it."
Several people followed Xu Wantang's example and mixed the rice with the soup.
In addition to Xu Wantang's braised sea cucumber with green onion, Chen Yue and Luo Xiaojuan's other dishes were also delicious, and all four dishes were quickly looted.
Luo Xiaojuan originally simmered a large pot of rice, thinking that there would be leftovers, but she didn't expect that she had finished them all.
After the meal, the two children played for a while, digested some food in their stomachs, and then consciously went to the bedroom to sleep.
Guoguo is young and has to take a nap at noon every day, so the glorious mission of coaxing Guoguo falls on Huzi.
Huzi's little hand took Guoguo's little hand and placed Guoguo on the bed. He also covered Guoguo with a quilt dutifully and patted Guoguo's shoulder gently every now and then.
After a while, Guoguo fell asleep.
Upon seeing this, Huzi quietly retreated from the bedroom, sat at the table, and continued to write the number 3.
Although his mother no longer blames him, Sister Tang also said that there is no problem. It is normal that he cannot write 3, but he does not want to disappoint his mother, Sister Tang, Aunt Chen Yue and Guoguo.
Isn’t it just 3? He didn't believe he couldn't learn.
Xu Wantang, who was sitting in the living room, saw Huzi's movements and quietly walked to the kitchen where Luo Xiaojuan was.
She touched Luo Xiaojuan's shoulder and motioned Luo Xiaojuan to look in Huzi's direction.
Luo Xiaojuan stopped washing the dishes, feeling moved and relieved.
Xu Wantang and Chen Yue did not go home in the afternoon and continued to stay at Luo Xiaojuan's house.
In the evening, Luo Xiaojuan wanted to invite two families to dinner, and she would have to cook a table full of dishes. Sister Xiaojuan would be very tired if she had to work alone, so Xu Wantang and Chen Yue thought of staying to help.
Luo Xiaojuan has already prepared the ingredients at home, so there is no need to go out to buy them.
As the host, Luo Xiaojuan naturally would not make the two guests Xu Wantang and Chen Yue work too hard, and only assigned them the task of picking vegetables.
The three of them were chatting and picking vegetables. Not only was it not hard work, it was also very leisurely.
After picking vegetables, Luo Xiaojuan stopped Xu Wantang and Chen Yue from interfering. She left them in the living room and went to work in the kitchen.
It didn't take long to prepare the meat, vegetables, and ingredients. She squeezed the time and didn't start the fire until Qian Baoguo and the others were about to come back.
Luo Xiaojuan also worked very neatly. When her meal was almost ready, she caught up with three grown men entering the house.
"Honey, I'm back!" Qian Baoguo shouted towards the kitchen.
"Daughter-in-law, do you miss me?" Yang Zhiqiang also swished toward Chen Yue.
Lu Yunzheng walked at the end and saw the figure sitting on the sofa at a glance. He was the only one who said nothing.
Xu Wantang was dressed simply and had no makeup on her face, but her face attracted attention inexplicably.
Xu Wantang heard the movement at the door, and after briefly saying hello to Qian Baoguo and Yang Zhiqiang, he continued to tell stories to Guoguo in his arms and Huzi next to him.
After the three men entered the house, they felt that the house was quite cramped.
Luo Xiaojuan's house didn't have many stools. When Lu Yunzheng put his hat on the hook at the door, only a large space was left next to Xu Wantang.
Xu Wantang only felt that the place next to him was deeply sunken.
Xu Wantang ignored him and continued to tell the story in a soft tone.
Lu Yunzheng listened to the gentle voice coming from his ears, looked at the other party's fair face, and didn't know how to speak.
He has already made an agreement with the dormitory that he will move to the dormitory tonight and will not go back to the family home in the short term.
He thought it would be easy to tell Xu Wantang about this, but when he faced Xu Wantang, he found it inexplicably difficult to say it.
Xu Wantang's story finally came to an end, and Guo Guo begged Xu Wantang to tell another one.
"It's almost time to eat. Let's talk about it after we finish eating, okay?" Xu Wantang said.
Guoguo nodded and went to find her father with her brother Huzi. Only Xu Wantang and Lu Yunzheng were left on the sofa.
"I have something to tell you." Lu Yunzheng said.
